1:72 Mask Convair B-58 Hustler BASIC (ITA/TEST.)

New Ware mask set - Convair B-58 Hustler, 1:72 (BASIC level)

A set of precisely cut self-adhesive masks made of fine kabuki (washi) tape from the Czech manufacturer New Ware, intended for plastic models of the American Convair B-58 Hustler supersonic bomber in 1:72 scale. The masks ensure a clean separation of colors on the cockpit glazing.

What the BASIC level covers

The BASIC level covers the outer surfaces of the cockpit glazing, any further clear parts and the landing gear wheels. A practical foundation for painting the model cleanly.

The real subject

The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first American supersonic strategic bomber with a delta wing, capable of around twice the speed of sound. Under the fuselage it carried a large jettisonable pod that combined the fuel and the weapon load. It served with Strategic Air Command during the Cold War.

Use and tips

• Apply them to a clean, degreased surface and press the edges down.
• Kabuki tape conforms well to the shape of the cockpit glazing.
• Once the paint is on, take the masks off carefully and in good time.

Who the set is for

• Builders of bombers in 1:72 scale.
• Anyone interested in Cold War hardware.
• Modelers who want sharp lines on the canopy frames.

This is a masking accessory, not a model. The kit itself, the glue and the paints are not included in the package.
